*Our public roadmap gives a transparent look at the vision and areas of focus for product development.*

Drainage design and analysis

InfoDrainage is Autodesk’s full design and analysis solution for stormwater drainage systems and hydrology simulations. It delivers speedy, sustainable, cost-effective, and compliant designs with tailored reports for compliance that accelerates the BIM cycle. Our strategic vision for InfoDrainage includes:

Improved round trip workflows with Civil 3D
Improve and simplify user workflows
Innovations in pipe and storage design
Improved stakeholder collaboration through enhanced BIM implementation

*Recently launched features in InfoDrainage with a sidebar that shows our strategic vision for the product*.

InfoDrainage has achieved many significant development milestones towards these strategic goals in recent releases. Most significantly for Australian customers is the support for Australian Rainfall and Runoff Guidelines (ARR19), which helps streamline the drainage design processes for land developments and major infrastructure projects while reducing reliance on spreadsheets.

Additionally, InfoDrainage users can now access extended property data sets within Civil 3D pipe network objects to carry over even more information and further streamline your drainage design workflows.

We have several exciting developments in progress for InfoDrainage including the implementation of Flood Estimation Handbook 2022 (FEH22) rainfall, Design Logic Switch, improving the synchronization of Storm Water Control outlets from within the pipe network, and more developments with Civil 3D roundtripping. These exciting new features solidify InfoDrainage as the next-generation drainage design application to its predecessor Microdrainage with greater accuracy and stronger integrations.

Stormwater, sewer, and flood modeling

InfoWorks ICM is Autodesk’s advanced integrated catchment modeling software for modeling complex hydraulic and hydrologic network elements quickly, accurately, and collaboratively for water and wastewater. The strategic vision for InfoWorks ICM includes:

Extended hydraulic simulation capabilities to the cloud
Simplified user workflows
Unified data management

*New features in InfoWorks ICM include new SCS runoff methods and support for multiple database versions.*

Recent releases to InfoWorks ICM include features such as SCS Runoff Methods for SWMM networks with curvilinear and triangular unit hydrographs (UH). Additionally, users can now assign a priority value to roughness zones removing the need for editing overlapping geometry, providing greater efficiencies by eliminating roadblocks to getting two or more roughness zones overlapped.

These developments and more are what’s driving stormwater and flood customers to adopt InfoWorks ICM and move from XPSWMM.

Water distribution modeling and management

Our portfolio for water distribution comprises two robust solutions: InfoWorks WS Pro and InfoWater Pro. Both products share important strategic objectives to better support workflows for clean water distribution:

Extend hydraulic simulation capabilities to the cloud
Deliver unified data management
Support an operational modeling workflow

*Recent launched features in InfoWorks WS Pro were designed to enhance collaboration and efficiency*.

InfoWorks WS Pro is a collaborative hydraulic modeling solution that allows users to work across teams and organizations with a multi-user database. Recent updates to the software includes exciting releases such as system head curves analysis, demand area analysis result improvements, and more.

*New features in InfoWater Pro include support for ArcGIS 3.0*.

InfoWater Pro is Autodesk’s water distribution modeling software built on Esri’s ArcGIS Pro. Exciting improvements have been released in InfoWater Pro including ArcGIS 3.0 support as well as a new simulation task manager support function, more accessible diagnostic and reporting tools, and faster model management performance. To learn about these features, check out the details of our most recent product update.

Continuous improvement in the cloud

Our cloud solutions for water and wastewater, Info360 Insight, Info360 Asset, and Info360 Plant are regularly updated with exciting new features and enhancements to meet evolving customer needs. Our roadmap reflects constant improvements to our SaaS solutions to demonstrate the value we deliver to our customers.

*Overview of newly launched features in Info360 Asset, including integrations with ArcGIS Online*.

One of the most notable updates since the last roadmap release the new ArcGIS Online integration within Info360 Asset. Users can now connect Info360 applications, including Info360 Asset, directly to ArcGIS Online through a built-in integration. This allows ArcGIS customers to get started quickly, as geospatial data is a key component to the analysis and visualization tools Info360 applications offer.
